Lady Eagles Cap Historic Season with Record-Breaking Run and Region Title

Season Recap:
The 2025–2026 season will be remembered as one of the most impressive and defining years in Lady Eagles basketball history. Entering the season with 8 newcomers (6 freshmen and 2 transfers) alongside 9 returners, the Lady Eagles combined youth, experience, and depth to form one of the most dynamic rosters in program history.

That depth quickly became a defining strength. The Lady Eagles featured 8 different starters throughout the season, with 9 players averaging 10+ minutes per game. Four of the team's primary contributors were new additions, including two transfers and two freshmen, highlighting just how important new pieces were to the team's success. Offensively, the balance was elite, with 7 players shooting above 25% from three-point range and 8 players shooting above 35% from the field. With a roster built on versatility and scoring ability, the Lady Eagles possessed one of the highest ceilings in program history.

That depth was anchored by strong leadership from junior captain Sky Boyd and senior Amber Dudek. Boyd, a key contributor since her freshman season, continued to lead both on and off the court, starting all 30 games while averaging heavy minutes and serving as a steady presence for the Lady Eagles. Alongside her, Dudek stepped into a major role in her final season after playing in just 38 games across her first three seasons. As a senior, she appeared in all 30 games with 27 starts, emerging as both a consistent contributor and leader for a young roster. Together, their leadership and experience played a crucial role in guiding a team filled with new faces and helping turn potential into one of the most successful seasons in program history.

The year began with early challenges, as the Lady Eagles opened with a tough four-point road loss to NAIA opponent Oakwood University. They responded with two home wins but then dropped back-to-back road games to SUNO and Coastal Alabama, starting the season 2-3 while still searching for chemistry. That search didn't last long.

Following consecutive road victories, the Lady Eagles found their rhythm and launched into a historic stretch, winning 17 straight games and setting a new program record for consecutive wins. From November 13 through February 3, the Lady Eagles dominated across all levels of competition, earning key victories over teams such as Coastal Alabama in a 26-point revenge win, NCCAA DI opponent Clinton College, NAIA opponent Brenau University, and eight NCCAA Division II opponents.

A late-season road loss to Welch College served as a wake-up call heading into postseason play, but the Lady Eagles responded exactly how great teams do. Closing the regular season with three South Region victories, they secured the #1 seed in the 2026 NCCAA South Region Tournament.

In the semifinal round, the Lady Eagles faced host Toccoa Falls College in a physical and competitive matchup. Despite a strong effort from the Screaming Eagles, PCC controlled the second half and secured a 65-54 victory to advance to the championship game.

The South Region Championship delivered one of the most memorable moments of the season. Facing rival Bob Jones University, the Lady Eagles endured their lowest scoring quarter of the season with just 4 points in the opening period and trailed by 11 points entering the 4th quarter. What followed was one of the greatest comebacks in program history. With relentless defense and timely scoring, the Lady Eagles outscored BJU 25-8 in the final quarter to claim a 63-57 victory and secure their 5th South Region Championship in the last six seasons.

With a 24-4 record and a dominant regional résumé, the Lady Eagles earned the #2 seed in their 13th consecutive NCCAA Division II National Tournament appearance. In an unfortunate draw, PCC faced host school Crown College in the opening round and fell 67-85, ending their national championship hopes. However, the Lady Eagles showed remarkable resilience, bouncing back the following day to defeat North Central University 78-72 in their final game of the season, closing the year on a high note.

The Lady Eagles finished the season with a 25-5 overall record, an undefeated 8-0 mark in South Region play, and a perfect 13-0 record at home. Statistically, the season ranks among the best in program history. The team recorded 884 made field goals (2nd all-time), 2,230 field goal attempts (2nd), 281 made three-pointers (2nd), 530 assists (3rd), and averaged 78.8 points per game (2nd). Most notably, the Lady Eagles set a new program record with 2,363 total points scored.

Individually, several players delivered historic performances. Brooklyn Bosher was named South Region and National Player of the Year, earned First Team All-American honors, and produced one of the greatest seasons in program history. She scored 614 points (2nd all-time), made 87 three-pointers (3rd), and 107 free throws (2nd), while also recording 78 steals (6th). Bosher set a new single-game scoring record with 38 points, then broke her own record with a 44-point performance, and tied the program record with 8 made three-pointers in a single game.

Sky Boyd also earned First Team All-Region and First Team All-American honors, finishing with 574 points (3rd all-time), 103 made free throws (4th), and 275 rebounds (4th). She recorded the second-highest scoring performance in program history with 41 points and was awarded the prestigious Dr. Marti MacCullough Award, recognizing her as the NCCAA's top women's basketball player for her excellence both on the court and in her Christ-like character.

Freshman Autumn Boutwell made an immediate impact, earning South Region Freshman of the Year honors while knocking down 73 three-pointers (7th all-time) and tying for 2nd in history with a program record of 7 made threes in a single game. Fellow freshman Micah Coalson was named to the South Region All-Freshman Team after recording 135 assists (2nd all-time) and setting a new single-game program record with 14 assists.

With only one senior graduating, the future is incredibly bright for the Lady Eagles. Returning 96% of their scoring production, this team is poised to build on its success. Fueled by experience, depth, and the hunger for more, the Lady Eagles will enter the 2026–2027 season with high expectations and championship aspirations, with banners firmly on their minds.
